Cool place! Especially if you want affordable meat. Tomahawk rib steaks frozen were under $40 for the largest cut in the case. That's a great price. We stopped in on Sunday afternoon. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. The place was busy. We picked out a few things as well as ordered a pulled pork sandwich and loaded Mac n cheese with brisket. Now I've had worse brisket but not much worse. It's old and not very good. no flavor and shaved very thin. Idk about you but when I smoke a brisket, there's no way I am able to shave slices of it. I was so surprised that it was tasteless. The Mac n cheese was great though. The pulled pork sandwich was swimming in BBQ sauce but good enough. We picked up some raspberry chipotle chicken breasts for the grill this week. Packed in vacuum sealed packs of two breasts. Also grabbed a fried pie, and spinach dip from the cold case. Well what they have next time we are out that way. read more

It was a nice place. It had some fresh meats but not much. They had a lot of frozen foods too. It's not like the corner meat store with a glass case full of meats. Had some unique items. Spent $70. Bought several items including 10 pounds of ground beef. I'll give a review on the ground beef later. read more

Came in 45 minutes before closing for a couple items, and it felt as if we were unwelcome. The man behind the meat counter stared at us the entire time, and the woman at the register was cold and rude. It is a cute store with charm, but the vibe was extremely unwelcoming. The prices are also high in comparison to shops in the area. read more

I was told by a couple locals they had an awesome butcher shop and marinated tri tip. Coming from California alls we eat is tri tip. They did not disappoint. The lady behind the meat counter recommended the "black nugget" marinated tri tip in a aujus marinade. Took it to my cousins and everyone loved it. I also bought a red wine and garlic marinated tri tip for later this week. She also recommended the tenderloin which was on sale for 9.99 a lb. This place is definitely a must see country market and serves take out smoked food everyday. They also process beef and deer. read more

I was rather impressed with this little market. Jerome is certainly far from a destination; it's a sleepy little town near Cement City and a stone's throw from Clark Lake. As a Jackson native, I've seldom found myself in Jerome. That's changed, recently. We stopped by the Market on our way back from a leisurely Sunday brunch and was impressed immediately. There was a smoker attached to a market-owned truck. As you walk in, there's a small shop booth where they sell their BBQ during the summer. Unfortunately, we'd just missed the window for that. The market makes an eclectic list of items in-house: soy candles, wine, jams, salsas, etc. Their meat counter selection is impressive, as is the jerky selection. For a small country store, the selection is impressive. The aesthetic is aligned with its surroundings: stuffed deer and other wildlife line the ceiling and shelves. It's as if they thought, "Hey, why get wallpaper when we can use hunted animals instead?" It gives the place a distinctive charm and works well with the all-wood interior (a very hunter's cabin feel). read more

Jerome Country Market - Inside the store. - Meat Shops Near Me - Horton, Michigan

I went here for the first time having heard about it for years. It's fantastic. Great meat. Great people. I wish it were closer to Ann Arbor. I bought a tri-tip roast that was marinated in a pepper-something rub and it was a fantastic piece of meat. I also bought a slew of venison, elk and beef jerky. They were all outstanding - not overly salty. The best I've had - and I like some jerky. Nice drive down Michigan Avenue and worth a trip. read more

Do not take your deer there to be processed. You will receive someone else's deer . Some meat was frozen solid some wasn't. The whole backstraps an inner loins I received came from a fawn ! Definitely not the one I killed . read more

We have been going here for 8 years. Never a problem! Unfortunately they have made many changes in the store. Purchased some fry pies. The sign said Yoders fry pies. The packaging had NO label of where it was from, NO list of ingredients or End of sale date, NONE of them! Unfortunately 2 of my pies were disgustingly moldy! We had to drive back to return them. Unfortunately there was no one working over 18, and that's what we have seen lately, NO supervisor around! We drove back to return the 2 bad pies, as I told the young gril these 2 were very moldy, with attitude she looked at me like all was OK with them, I hope she threw them away. I was able to pick out 2 more to replace them. By law all food has to have labels for Ingredients, and expiration dates! I truly believe they don't check daily for bad food! I've called the health department and they told me, ALL FOOD HAS TO BE CLEARLY MARKED, INGREDIENTS LABEL, WHERE ITS FROM, AND EXPIRATION DATED! We won't be buying baked goods from them. read more

Bought 1/4 cow from friend, who brought it to Jerome's for processing. While Google says that average cow will have 12-14 lbs of tenderloin, we ended up only with total of 1.3lbs (split up into 8 miniscule packages). There were many other issues, but needless to say, we will not be going back. read more

They do a great job with deer processing, the smoked back straps, blueberry maple breakfast sausage and venison bacon is the best. Very reasonably priced for quality processing. They also have a DNR check station on sight so you can get your deer aged and your hunting patch for the year all in one stop. Don't forget to grab some jerky when your there. read more

First time I had food made for my party, Food was fantastic, reasonable, and service was great, Will definitely be back. Took all the stress out of having my 4th july party. Thank you to all for your hard work. read more

Really great for what it is. It is not the kind of place you want to do your general grocery shopping at. But it's a really cute little stop for locally made goods- and you can get your animals you hunted processed here too! They had a really impressive looking meat counter, and several fridges of jerky along with homemade sides, spreads, and smoked fish. The center of the store is filled with local wines, candles, jams, and sauces. read more

The Yelp map & address are wrong. The correct address is 8985 E Chicago Rd, Jerome, MI 49249. (Actually part of US-12.) A Yelp moderator rejected my proposed changes. Go figure. I've been there, this other person hasn't. You'll find this place along US-12 just a stone's throw west of Round Lake Road and a few miles east of the tiny town of Moscow, MI. It's on the south side of US-12 and comes up a bit fast. Just watch for the huge deer statue. There was a meat smoker out front when I visited. Inside there are some cute gift items, wines, a lot of packaged foods (jams & jellies, mustards, salsas & other condiments) plus a meat counter where you can grab some fresh meat for tonight's dinner, such as bacon, pork chops, seasoned chicken breasts, and ground beef. They also have a frozen meat section and one freezer just for all the brat varieties. Most of the food items seem to be made in Michigan, which is a plus. You could even fill a basket with Michigan-made items as a gift for someone who loves to cook. I think the minimum purchase to use a credit card was $5, but it's easy to do better than that at this place. So many nice things there. And the people working there that day were very friendly. I had a nice visit, and I'll be back for more. read more

I was pretty disgusted to find that this market widely uses MSG on it's meats and in it's beef jerky. Isn't the process of making jerky preservative enough that the addition of MSG is unnecessary? That being said I suspect that their customers are not returning for the good meat. It is the addictive properties of the MSG that they keep returning for. What a dirty and underhanded trick to play on consumers who probably are unaware of the health risks posed by MSG. I wish I had checked the label before I bought a tri tip...got it home and in the trash it went.. read more

One person can spoil your whole experience. I had a half a beef ready to be picked up from this market. Upon entering the store front, I was greeting with a smile from a young lady who immediately asked me if I was there to pick up an order. She asked for the famer's name and mine. While she was pulling the paperwork, I asked if I could see the cutting order. She immediately said, I'll place it in with the meat. I asked again and starting explaining how their system took my email but never sent me a copy of the cutting order nor a confirmation that I submitted the cutting order (even checked the spam and junk email folders with no luck). Mid sentence she looked up at me and turned and walk away while I was still talking to her. I turned to my son and told him, "That is how you do NOT treat a customer". What I thought was a fellow shopper in the market, looked up at me as I was telling my son this; found out later she might work there as I saw her behind the counters. We walked around the store looking at the many mounts; I won't comment on them...I'll let you go look for yourself. The meat was ready when we went back up to the front. Cold and wrapped nice and placed into paper sacks with cardboard support sides and placed into two grocery carts to wheel out to our vehicle. The same young lady rang me up. As I paid, I asked again if I could see the cutting order and she kind of shortly replied, "it's in one of the bags"...kind of making me feel like she didn't want to show it to me. We loaded up the meat and of course didn't find the cutting order until the last bag. Just as I had concerns about, the jerky that I was sure I had ordered 5 lbs of wasn't listed on the cutting order. I didn't get charged for them, but they weren't on the order either. I went back inside with the empty carts and to my delight there was a different young lady behind the counter; I decided to wait until she was done with a customer before I approached her. She was pleasant and listened without interrupting as I explain my concern. I told her upfront that I knew they couldn't change anything and that they didn't charge me for anything that wasn't on the cutting order. I just was trying to explain my concern that their system took my order but never sent me a confirmation, nor a copy of my cutting order that I submitted. I had called to confirm they received it electronically, but was cut short by whoever answered the phone (but now I have a pretty good idea who I talked too) so I never confirmed what the order had on it. Again, the young lady patiently listened to me when the other young lady (who I'm sure saw me holding the cutting order as I was standing there) immediately cut me off and starting giving her 2 cents. I tried to repeat myself to her, but she didn't want to listen. She reached under the counter and looked at what appeared to be a computer cutting order form and said I didn't order it. I told her again I knew there was nothing they could do and that they didn't charge me for it, but my concern was about how there system didn't send the customer a confirmation and copy of the order to review (like 99% of other online order forms that take your email do today). She turned even more snippy and told me I'd have to talk to the guy in the office and pointed behind her. I told her I'd wait and started to step back, but she couldn't stop running her mouth. She had to tell me that their system didn't work that way and couldn't be changed. It's an electronic form, IT guys created the form and IT guys can't change the form. That's what happens every day in our world, but apparently not in this young lady's world. I told her thank you and that I'd never spend any money here again and walked out. I told my son as we were walking out the store, "that's not how you treat a customer". I'm hoping my son learned a valuable lesson from our experience there. Update: 11/6/2022 - I'm really disappointed in the amount of small bone pieces we've found already. Poor experience all around. read more

I live by the three strikes and you are out rule....Strike one-we took a deer to be processed and received back way more meat than our deer weighed (not our deer)....Strike two-we took 4 future hunters to see the buck pole, as we approached the driveway we were shouted at "Get out of here and just go home"! .....Strike three-we were on a call list for 5 months to have one of our livestock processed; called one time and told we were not even on the list, then called again and talked to Brent Jr. ......we did not get our date, told the date could be in 3 days or 3 weeks..................they have grown too big, got greedy and do not know what they are doing. read more

This place has TERRIBLE customer service. The butcher was extremely rude and disrespectful. He also was not wearing a mask. I would not recommend this place to anyone... Save your time read more

Meat selection is top notch - store is clean - everyone smiles and asks how they can help. From purchasing meat for parties and having a pig processed there, would highly recommend! read more

Processing is much better than any meat market in our area. Staff has always been very helpful and nice.

I was really excited about stopping here today to check out their meats and other gourmet foods. Place smelled absolutely delicious. I was horrified that the man behind working the meat counter wasn't wearing a mask. He's responsible for handling food. read more

2 son had cow and pig proceeded their,split meat with him- please go somewhere else in jackson co,not a good job at all,plenty of better meat markets around- they do vacuum wrap,but are way too expensive for the product they deliver read more

BUYER BEWARE!!!!! We purchased a Half Beef from this place and was not happy at all. The hanging weight was 418 pounds. we received 233 pounds of meat. my calculator tells me we lost 45% some where. When I called and complained, I was told that the tong, heart, liver, tail,and kidneys were part of the hanging weight. Buyer Beware!!! There are other places better than this, shop around!!! We had purchased from this place in the past and this is not the first time we were shorted. NEVER AGAIN will our family make the drive to do business with people such as these. read more

After spending a day at the Hillsdale County Fair with my sisters and mom. We made a special side trip to go this market as we did last year. We were intending on shopping there. I walked in with an empty water bottle after not finding a trash can outside and asked them if they had a wastebasket. The clerk said no they didn't. Somewhat surprised, I carried the bottle around and my sisters asked me why I was still carrying it. I told them and we all decided to leave without spending a dime. None of us will ever return to this business....no sense going to a place that is lacking in customer service! read more

Their beef jerkey ingredient list reads more like a science experiment than food. Among the normal stuff on the list-salt, sugar, dry jalapeño, etc- you will also find such undesirables like hydrolised soy protein, caramel color, fd&c red #3,yellow 5, sodium silico aluminate, silicon dioxide... The list goes on. Over time, foods of this (unnatural) nature cause serious health problems, including various forms of cancer. It is supposed to be beef jerkey, why do the ingredients read like this? read more

Never disappointed with this place. Go here when we're at the lake and has a good selection. tri tip beef something was really good

Stopped here during the US12 garage sale. I was pleasantly surprised! Great selection of jerky. Assorted flavors and types-beef, pork, venison, elk. I went with the chili cheese it was very good. 5 sticks for $4.99. read more

Great place to stop and buy meat if you don't mind buying what doesn't belong to them. This place if famous for stealing from people who bring in their livestock for their meat counter. To make things worse when they get caught shorting you they just steal the meat from some other persons order. This place it pathetic. Why people still have their livestock processed here is beyond me. The horror stories I hear on a regular basis never cease to amaze me. I hope the bad business practices this place constantly practices catches up with them sooner than later. Karma read more

I have been here numerous times. My dad enjoys the smoked pork chops. The jerkey is some of the best I've ever had. Pretty much all Jerky has carcinogens in it, so I don't know what the other reviewer was expecting? I wish they stocked more Buffalo Jerky. It's always out when I'm there, or they only have the peppered. I tried one of the tri-tip roasts and was not a fan. Tasted rancid. I bought a pack of frozen smelt for my dad, not realizing they still had to be cleaned. Maybe it's just me, but I've never seen smelt sold that way. read more

We have taken in steers for processing and have not been disappointed. Clean facility, easy to work with friendly staff. Meat packaged well, specialty items ie: beef sticks, summer sausage, burger patties are all wonderful. They also have a wide variety of meat counter items, market items, self processing kits for making your own jerky, venison sticks/salami. Highly recommended. read more

Tried taking a deer in to get processed. They list their hours as open until 7pm on Tuesday, well I pulled in the parking lot at 6:55 and they shut the lights off and locked the door in my face and said they were closed. Don't waste your time read more

I bought a whole hog from a dear friend of mine after buying a half from him last year that he had already processed, meat was really good only wish the chops were thicker. So after the hog was taken in we needed to make our own order, now was my chance to have my chops thicker 1" is what I wanted. I left the ordering to my wife knowing she was not that experienced I never concerned myself because with my past the butcher always talked you through the process. This is what happened they never ask my wife what thickness we wanted so I called and this is what I got. " I'm not sure would you like me to check" yes thank you, so I paused. " I'm not going to check right now ! " WOW So we went and picked up our meat in the snow storm 50 miles away and actually talked to the Lady I spoke to on the phone, "We always ask" see stated, Well not always was my respond. See made it seem like it was no big deal to her, no apology no nothing!! Must be an everyday thing for this lady!! read more
